This stall not only has Qi knives, but also many Yan knives. Almost all the ones that remind you of being small are Yan knives.
"This is the Yanming Dao, a square folding knife from the middle period of the Warring States Period." The boss introduced it again.
"Yan Ming Dao?" Although Han Kongque knew him, this was his first time seeing him.
"Yes, this is the Yanming Dao. The Yanming Dao was the main currency of Yan State at that time. Since there is a "0D" symbol cast on the surface of this currency, this kind of knife coin is divided into two shapes according to these two shapes.
There are two types: round fold and square fold.
You see, this round folding knife is similar to the late pointed-head knife. It was cast in the early Warring States Period. The body and handle are in a well-proportioned arc shape. The inscriptions are mostly oblique oval. It is 13-14 cm long and weighs 14-19 grams.
Square folding knives mostly appeared after the middle period of the Warring States Period. The back of the knife is curved with folds visible, resembling the edge of an ancient chime. It is also called a "chime folding knife". The inscription is flat and folded like an eye. The body is narrow and thick, with a length of 12-13.5 cm and a heavy weight.
12-18 grams, and then lost weight, these are rare treasures."
Han Kongque knew that the boss was definitely an expert. Although he had never seen this kind of knife coin, he knew that what the boss said was correct.
Seeing Han Kongque nodding in approval of his introduction, the boss introduced even more enthusiastically: "Look at these, you must know that the inscriptions on the back of the Ming Dao are extremely complicated. According to calculations by those who have unearthed them, there are about 450 types.
I have everything here, and these are part of my collection. You see, most of these inscriptions are about numbers, things, and descriptions, and these are single words, such as one, two, five, fish, bird, day, and chemical.
, work, line, left, right, inside, outside, etc.
Phrases are often divided into four series starting with left, right, inside, and outside, and I have them here too. You see, these are left B, left eight, left next, right D, right upper, right Yi, inner ten, and inner equal.
There are also many kinds of symbols that are difficult to understand. I have almost all of them here. If I just count the types, I have more than 10,300 knife coins at home, a total of 18,367 coins. It can be said that
As long as they are unearthed species, I have collected almost all of them."
"Huh?" Although Han Kongque saw that there were a lot of knife coins and believed that the boss was a big collector, it was impossible to collect more than 10,000 or more than 1,000 knife coins.
Although Mingdao is cast in large quantities and widely circulated, and has been unearthed in ten provinces and cities in China, and even as far away as North Korea and Japan, it is definitely not easy to collect so many.
"Do you really have so many sword coins?" It's not that Han Kongque didn't believe it, but if he really had so many, it would be enough to cause a sensation in the domestic collecting community.
Although a large amount of sword coins have been unearthed from the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods, collecting nearly 20,000 coins is definitely not something that can be completed in a year or two.
"Hehe! Can this still be a lie? Our family is quite famous for collecting coins without coins, especially in terms of knife coins. Even the Qian family cannot compare with our family.
If something hadn't happened at home and we were in urgent need of a lot of money, we would never have been able to put in decades of hard work and deal with it so easily," the stall owner said.
"Are you going to sell it?" Han Peacock asked.
"Yes, it's been two days since we spread the word and wanted to sell these knife coins, but there aren't many people with the ability to sell them, so they haven't been sold yet. Otherwise, I would set up a stall here. Such a good thing is not worth it.
Maybe I'll keep it until now." The stall owner said calmly.
"You look like an expert. Why don't you go to the Money Pavilion? As long as you send it over, they will definitely buy it." Han Peacock said curiously.
The stall owner continued to say contemptuously: "Who do the Qian family think? Even if all the money from our family is raised, it is impossible to sell it to his family. If we don't need the money urgently, we will just give it to the auction."
"How much do you plan to sell these collections for?" Han Peacock still loves these sword coins. If he can accept them, he will definitely be lucky. You know, even if you have money, you have to collect tens of thousands of sword coins.
difficult.
"What? Are you going to take it?" The stall owner glanced at Han Peacock, and he didn't look like a big boss.
"Yes, I want it. Money is not an issue." Han Kongque said very richly.
"We have three sets of rare sword coins, which cost 1.2 million, and thousands of special sword coins, which cost two million. The rest are in good condition, but they are just ordinary sword coins, so each one is at least
It costs five hundred, and the total price is around ten million, so it’s not easy to buy my entire collection.”
"More than thirteen million?" Han Kongque was surprised. You must know that due to the huge number of knife coins found, the price is not high. Unexpectedly, this amount is so large that it actually costs tens of millions.
price to receive it.
What Han Kongque knows is that only in the Yixian area of Yanxiadu, Hebei Province, no less than 30 cases, tens of millions of pieces, have been unearthed since 1966.
At present, the price of a five-zig knife on the market is more than 10,000 yuan, and a six-zig knife is at least about 60,000 yuan. It is not uncommon for a particularly precious one to sell for 200,000 yuan. Generally, a three-zig knife, a four-zig knife, a five-zig knife, and a six-zig knife are one.
A set can be sold for more than 350,000 yuan.
Therefore, the prices of knife coins vary greatly, ranging from tens to tens of thousands, and the price offered by this stall owner must be exaggerated. It cannot be that all the knife coins in his hand are special knife coins in good condition, right?
"If you can provide a proof of assets to prove that you have strength, then I can take you to my house to have a look, and we can discuss the price in detail then," the stall owner said.
"That's no problem. I wonder if your home is far from here?" Han Kongque said.
"It's not far. My home is in the suburbs. It's only a ten-minute drive outside the city." The stall owner said.
"Do you mind if I ask a few more experts to check it out?" Han Kongque asked.
"It's absolutely possible. After all, it's a big business, and the coins in our family have a very legitimate origin. Many people know it, so there's no need to keep it secret," the stall owner said.
"That's good. I'll call and find someone. Once I find all the people, I'll take you to verify the capital." Han Kongque was also very happy.
Han Peacock called Plush Rong first. Han Peacock estimated that Plush Rong was on the night shift and was off work now, so he should be free.
Of course, the purpose of looking for plush is to ensure the safety of the knife coins he bought. Han Kongque had to be careful. The appearance of this stall owner was too coincidental. It was a coincidence that he seemed to be waiting for him here specially.
If Han Kongque hadn't been on guard, he would have been deceived by the stall owner.
After contacting Mao Rong, Mao Rong happily agreed to come over. Han Peacock contacted Fat Liu again and wanted to ask his old man for help.
"What? How many people do you want?" Fat Liu said a little surprised after hearing what Han Kongque said about the situation.
"The more the better, as long as they are professionals who know something about the Spring and Autumn and Warring States swords and coins, I want them all. If I can't find many for a while, but I still have to gather a dozen for me, I think your old man's research institute should be there.
have it?"
"Why do you need so many people?" Fat Liu asked in surprise.
Han Kongque said matter-of-factly: "Of course the number of sword coins is a bit too much."
"With more than a dozen people, how many coins do you want them to hold firm to? Thousands of dollars? You have to be careful. Although this kind of thing is not very valuable, if it is released in large quantities, it is likely to be something in the pit. If you are not careful, you will get it.
You might fall in." Fat Liu reminded him.
"Do I not know this? I have already seen the sample. It was not unearthed recently, and it is not kept secret. Many people in the market know it, so there is no need to worry too much." Han Peacock explained.
Han Peacock knows this very well about wealth and wealth. If there is no conspiracy, such a good thing will never happen to Han Peacock, but danger also means opportunity. If the operation is good, it is really difficult for anyone to take advantage of whom.
Easy to say.
Fat Liu can be regarded as a well-informed person. If this stall owner has really let out the news a long time ago and has to deal with such a large amount of knife coins, there is absolutely no way that Fat Liu will not know about it.
Han Kongque sneered in his heart. Now he was basically sure that the stall owner should be here for him.
Han Kongque called Mao Rong again and asked him to pick up Fat Liu in the car. He then led the man named Hou Mingxi to the nearest bank and checked Han Kongque's family background.
When he saw the series of zeros displayed on the ATM machine, Hou Mingxi was dumbfounded. At this time, the way he looked at Han Kongque was obviously different.
Although he was shocked by the wealth in Han Kongque's hands, he was even more excited. Hou Mingxi didn't expect that he would get such a harvest this time fishing. He originally just wanted to defraud three to five million yuan, but he didn't expect to be able to catch something like this this time.
to the big fish.
Han Kongque and Hou Mingxi called a taxi and drove directly out of the city. When they arrived in the suburbs, they picked up Plush and Fat Liu at the agreed location. The two cars drove in under the guidance of Hou Mingxi.
A small suburban town.
"Boss Hou?" Walking into a large courtyard, Han Kongque saw at a glance Hou Mingdong, who once sold him the Nine Dragons Sword.
Thinking of Hou Mingxi's name, Han Kongque suddenly thought that there was the word "thing" in their names, and that Hou San who once played with porcelain and gave him a golden bowl of the Tang Dynasty. Could they be three brothers?
Thinking of what these brothers had done, Han Kongque knew that this transaction would definitely not go smoothly.
"Boss Han? I wonder who has such strength! Boss Han has become very famous recently!" Hou Mingdong quickly followed up and shook hands with Han Peacock.
"Boss Hou is so humble. You are truly powerful. How long has it been since? The good things you have revealed are becoming more and more precious!" Han Peacock looked at Hou Mingdong with a smile.
These three brothers are really strange, one is skinny, one is short and fat, and the other is tall and strong. If you didn't know, you would never think that they would be called three brothers.
"Hello, Boss Hou!" At this time, Fat Liu, who had been following Han Peacock, came over to say hello to Hou Mingdong.
"Xiao Liu! Why are you also interested in my knife coins?" Hou Mingdong knew Fat Liu, but he didn't take him seriously. A hawker who had been setting up a stall in the antique street for many years didn't catch his eye at all.
"I don't have this kind of strength, I'm here to help." As he said that, Fat Liu pointed behind him.
In addition to the four of them, who were all dressed in camouflage, there were more than a dozen other people. They looked like cultural people at first glance. Needless to say, Han Kongque came to them for appraisal.
